The city of Los Angeles could lose billions of dollars over the writers' strike that's just about a month old. The writers are holding out for another $130 million, but the cost to vendors, suppliers and contractors of the industry is potentially astronomical - many times greater than the amount that the writers are asking for. The ripple effect of shutting down this core industry is almost incalculable.

This blog entry is dedicated to a good friend of mine, who is part of our current Capital Attraction Accelerator program. Gary has taken our program so that he can learn how to raise capital for his business after he strategizes on all the various ways that he needs to monetize his ideas. After taking the capital portion of the program, Gary called me and said that he wanted to confidentially reveal to me a concept that he's been working on.
